GM builders,
Congrats to everyone who participated in Solanathon & submitted their builds last night! Find out who the winners are in next week's newsletter — or join our Discord where we'll announce them this Friday (10/28) 👀 🏆
Welcome to thirdweb weekly: where we highlight how web3 companies are disrupting industries from events ticketing to creator monetization (usually, built on thirdweb).
Today, we're extremely excited to bring you a company that is, quite literally, changing the game — and taking web3 gaming to the next level.
DreamWorks Takes on Web3 Gaming with Gala Games & Creators of The Sims 🎮
When it comes to web3 gaming, Gala is making all the right moves, having recently partnered with Will Wright — creator of The Sims, Sim City, and Spore — to build the VOXverse. Now, they're bringing DreamWorks along for the ride: reimagining your favorite Trolls characters as provably unique NFT avatars.
Like all VOX characters, DreamWorks Trolls VOX live in the VOXverse — built on the Ethereum blockchain as 3D avatars & designed for metaverse interoperability. This means that each of the 8,888 VOX characters are playable in other Gala games, including Town Star and Mirandus, with built-in utility for each game and rewards in the greater Gala x DreamWorks ecosystem — including Gala Film NFTs, the chance to win VOXverse land parcels, & more.
Learn more about how Gala and DreamWorks are bringing the Trolls into VOXverse, as utility-enabled NFTs, using thirdweb's tools:
